Vermont Attorney General William Sorrell says not having a primary election opponent so far means he'll be able to focus on his job rather than politics.

Sorrell made the comments Tuesday after Chittenden County State's Attorney T.J. Donovan said he would not seek a rematch in the Democratic Party primary against Sorrell.

Donovan challenged Sorrell in the 2012 primary. Sorrell won by a narrow margin.

Donovan said had considered running against Sorrell again, but he decided it was not the time for him personally or professionally

Sorrell is planning to seek re-election.

Donovan says a lot of the issues he campaigned on two years ago have become law, such as a "good Samaritan" law that provides immunity for prosecution for someone who calls 911 to report a suspected drug overdose.
